I'll say without going into gory details;  having a pet nearly die during this sucked ass.  Had to drop him off, couldn't see him at all, if we did have to put him down there's questions of whether we can even be there (might have to soon), etc.

Really sorry, dude. Hope it ends up being ok.

PM and the modeling press conferences had very annoying reporter questions.  Every second question was 'How long is this going to last?' and the PM kind of got boxed into saying a year to year-and-a-half at least and that's only if people take is seriously now and we will not be going back to normal until we have a vaccine.

But lets be honest, that's probably accurate. I'm expecting 1 1/2 years ultimately because if we let up too soon and people become complacent it will only get worse.

Ya, it's completely honest, and what experts have been saying for a while, but, to repeat what the cbc said, it's sobering when politicians start saying that this is the new normal.

The conference is here if others want to watch it

Our cat passed away a few years ago. She was 19 and had a good long life but damn was it hard. We sat with her at the vets while they put her to sleep. I feel you.

Em and I ended up burying her in our front yard during a rain storm. Seemed fitting. Damn cat.

Individuals with age <65 account for 5%-9% of all COVID-19 deaths in the 8 European epicenters, and approach 30% in three US hotbed locations.

Alternatively phrased, individuals <65 years old had 34-73 fold lower risk of COVID-19 death than older individuals. For New York City, Louisiana and Michigan, the difference was somewhat smaller, with those <65 years old having 13-15 fold smaller risk of dying than older individuals.

They didn't include the UK in the study because of unavailable data on required age categories.

Wonder how these relate to population though? 

Aren't different cities / regions populated by a different percentage of >65?

Like Florida is drasitcally different from NYC.
The second quote addresses this. Yes, the US regions have a younger population, but the relative risk for the younger population is still greater.

Table 2 addresses this as well. The Relative risk of COVID-19 death for those under 65 versus those ≥65 years is much greater in the US regions.

As hoped, for the first time since the beginning of the crisis, more people left ICU than were admitted in France.

A lot more dead people in long term care homes retrospectively attributed to COVID however. Now 1/3 of all total fatalities and considering how it's ballooning I fully expect it to be half of it of more in a week.

Same with care homes here. It's a massacre because regular caretakers had to go and help out in the hospitals which admit mostly elderly but they weren't tested.
Those caretakers were replaced by temp workers who were recently unemployed and also not tested.
Until very recently they didn't test at all, so they found out today that for example 70 out of 90 residents have been infected in a single facility.

PPE's have been moved from care homes to hospitals too and it is hard to isolate or social distance dementia patients.

Sweden also all but dropped Hydroxychloroquin in it's hospitals and reportedly 54 cases of cardiac complications (4 fatal) in France among those using it for COVID19. Seems to be a trend in feedbacks from everywhere last day or two.

I was reading up about that NYC island where they have mass graves and they had this factoid in the article:

Quote
The first AIDS victims were buried away from other graves on the island in 1985 over fears they would infect the other bodies.

That doesn't include online shopping, right? This was the final nail in the coffin for brick and mortar

I wouldn't bet Amazon & all is doing that much of a killing right now though. Deliveries are partly being compressed from the top in some European countries and I would imagine a lot of people in the US are trying not to burn whatever money they have upfront too fast.

Also, for the people insisting on just quarantining the olds and letting the rest have at it.

The future presented by the 90s movie The Demolition Man makes more sense when viewed the lens of this pandemic.

The ‘movie virus’ is spread though saliva and bodily fluids, so sex becomes culturally frowned on. Wiping your ass with your bare hand is also frowned on, so they develop new technology to do it for you. People are quarantined for so long that crime becomes non-existent because only the most passive people survive.  The virus cannot live in the meat sauce of Taco Bell, so it becomes the only restaurant to thrive during the epidemic. It then evolves into fine dining with no competitors to push it down.


Time for a reboot.

Not to fear monger but I'm a little worried that the possibility of a vaccine is presented in too certain terms. Everyone rightfully stress that 18 months is the absolute fastest window you could expect for one... But it could also not happen in a timely manner despite all best efforts.

Feels a bit like authorities are kicking that can down the road in lieu of mentioning a lockdown exit strategy they don't have yet / building their means capacity to. I just hope people won't get too depressed if it becomes apparent a vaccine / cure is not coming shortly.
